i went with the 24g aquapod with 150 watt mh for 2 reasons. i had great results with the 12 gallon aquapod and i dont have enough money to invest in the 28g nanocube.
tank=aquapod 24 + 150 watt mh
flow= stock pump + rio90 (both will most likely be replaced, especially the stock pump)
filter chamber= removed all stock media and currently have cheato
LR= currently 20-25lb of fiji rocks
sand= 20lb
CUC= 10 Nassarius Snail, 2-4 Margarita Snail, 3-5 hermint (i think 1 was a scarlet), 1 peppermint shrimp
Fish= sixline from my 12g :wub:
anything else= anemone crab
Coral
LPS= frogspawn, candy canes
Zoanthids= colors of the rainbows (will get close up shots later on of each)
near-future upgrade
-filter chamber pump to a mj900 and add another one in the display.
-another 10-15 lb of rocks for the tank. i need to to add about 5-10 more lb for the display and the rest will be broken down into LR rubble for the filter chamber.
within a week or two im going to probably add a baby onyx clown as well as some kind of goby for the sand. i was thinking of the yellow watchmen. let me know if you guys have any suggestions for fish. im looking for something lively and colorful.
and what's a post without some pictures right?

i plan to keep the sand bed clean. Right now im hold frags for cuong since he's taking his tank down. the sand should be clean by next weekend though. He saw another thread and inspired me to create a cascading aquascaping which will start at the left rear towards the right front. This is why i need about 5-10 more lbs or rock for the display.

i think the cascading aquascaping from left rear to right front will be awesome because the tank is up against the wall, and can only been seen from the front and right side.
sorry for the super duper poor excuse of a picture. im ashamed to say that i own a Canon Rebel XT. if anyone knows how to work the rebel please give me some tips!
Today my last class was canceled so i decided to hit up PTF. i saw a really nice onyx clown. It was about 3/4-1 inch (still a baby)and the next thing i knew BAM was in my tank!

this is my favorite zoanthid. at the moment im calling them shawns red galaxy :happy: not sure if they are unique, but i sent a few pics to zoaid and hopefully they will accept it as being new
